Have you considered outsourcing it? A google search shows a few hits for about 10 cents/page. If you figure a typical minimum wage employee could scan one page every minute, at $6.55/hour that's $0.11/page. That doesn't factor in other non-wage costs of employment it would obviously go up. I'm sure they're using some mega automated scanner. Corey
